    3G Alternator Charging Problem

    Thank you guys for all of your help!! I will check the output from the post on the alternator to see what I'm getting, but when I checked the cable where it attaches to the solenoid, I was consistently seeing 10.5V. I'll also check the stator wire voltage. The weird thing is I'm not getting...

    3G Alternator Charging Problem

    Hey Guys, I recently upgraded to a 3G alternator (130A) on my 93 Cobra and I am having a problem I was hoping you guys could help me with. I used the PA Performance 4GA power wire with 200A megafuse connected from the alternator output post to the positive side of the ignition solenoid. I'm...

    Flowmaster Super 40

    Hey guys, I have BBK shorties, Magnaflow hi-flow catted H-pipe, and Flowmaster 2-chamber cat-back on my 93 Cobra. I like the exterior sound but the drone inside is driving me crazy. I must be getting old!! Do any of you guys have the newer Super 40 Delta Flows? I'm wondering if they sound...

    Best handling struts/shocks to match B springs

    I have the H&R race springs with Bilstein's on mine and love them. They are noticeably stiffer than stock, but not too harsh IMHO. They didn't drop it in the weeds, but I love the drop on mine and I can use the adj LCAs to dial in the rear...

    can you clean up hazy headlights?

    Mine were really bad and I used this >> http://autogeek.net/diamondite-headlight-how-to.html. Night and day difference. I would highly recommend. If you do buy new ones, though, I would also periodically use a sealant on them to minimize hazing. Before: 1 2 After: 1 2 Hope this...

    Installing stud kit for rear-end cover.

    Those are a replacement for the 4 factory bearing cap bolts. Just remove the factory bolts, install the studs, and torque to spec. Hope this helps!!

    5.0 Resto Carpet Kit Question

    I got the mass-back carpet from them and it did not have any pre-cut holes -- I had to cut all of them in mine. I was surprised, the quality was actually pretty good for being a resto part. Hope this helps!!

    Thoughts on electronic water pump over regular performance pump?

    I would do them both at the same time. The wiring kit is a 4 ga power cable that mounts from the positive side of the starter solenoid to the output terminal on the 3G alt. The stock 2G does not have said output terminal. The output for the stock alt is handled by the 2 black/orange 10 ga...

    Thoughts on electronic water pump over regular performance pump?

    If your new alt has the fan mounted externally then you are still running a 2G. I wouldn't even consider running either efan or epump (much less both) without upgrading to a 3G first. The 2G alt can barely even keep up with the stock electrical system. The 3G swap is easy and relatively...

    Adjustable clutch cable pics

    Sticking with the OEM non-adjustable cable is good advice. I've read numerous posts re: issues with the adjustable ones. I use the OEM cable + Steeda firewall adjuster with no issues. Also, your neck and back will thank you for taking the seat out. Here's a pic of the finished product. Hope...

    which axles do i use for the rear then?

    Yep, Ranger axles are same length as the stock GT/LX fox axles, just in 5-lug. These will give you more options in terms of wheel/tire combos. The SN95 94-95 axles are the same length as the stock 93 Cobra axles, just in 5-lug. These axles are 3/4" longer and will limit your wheel/tire...

    What to do about the rear 4 to 5 lug!

    Sounds like the exact setup I have on mine. I have the fox-length 5-lug axles on mine with 03 Cobra wheels and Nitto 275 DRs and I don't have any fender clearance issues. I believe the Nittos run a little narrower than other brands. You can flip the quads to gain extra clearance, but I had to...

    balljoint not budging!!!

    I had the same problem on the driver's side one. I just kept going at it from different angles with the fork and a heavy 3 lb sledge until it finally broke loose. Supposedly, you can also whack different spots on the spindle where it mates to the balljoint to loosen it, but I didn't have much...
